Treatments for Neck Pain at Washington Township Medical Foundation

A doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) is also called

use of a multi-disciplinary approach tailored to your needs. Your physiatrist’s
role may include triage for patients with chronic or acute neck pain.
He / she may then assess your condition and work with you to develop a
plan that effectively targets the cause of your pain.
